Mr. Bertagnolli was born January 11, 1930 in Daphne, Alabama, where he lived the early years of his life and where his extended family remains. He served his country in the Pacific during the post-war occupation of Japan and the Korean War. Mr. Bertagnolli was a member of the Operating Engineers Local 653 for 63 years. During that time, he was grateful to have had the opportunity to mentor dozens of young men into careers in the building trades. Mr. Bertagnolli became a Master Mason in 1956 and held a dual membership in the Abba and Alcazar Shriners Temples. He took great pleasure in transporting children to receive no-cost medical services provided by the Alcazar Temple and received at the Shriners Hospitals in Greenville, SC and Cincinnati, OH. Mr. Bertagnolli made this trip over 100 times and as long as his health allowed it.

 

Mr. Bertagnolli was a devoted husband to his wife of 63 years, Ann Rains Bertagnolli, and a proud father of four, Kathy (Larry) Shelley, Andy (Deborah) Bertagnolli, Susan (Thomas) Dale and Laura Bertagnolli, all of Ashford; eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
